Creating Windows & Mirrors by Kathy
These photos show various windows that have been created in theme cages. Windows provide the resident guinea pigs with an opportunity to interact with and view the world around them. Also, if a cage has an upper level, a window along the front of the cage and the sides provides light to the lower-level. The album also shows how to make a mirror or a picture by placing an item behind the cutout window area. Information on making a "Cubes and Coroplast" cage may be found at: www.cavycages.com
